Vigilante with 2.6: great!

But my guess: only some first prototypes are available for professional Enduro racers right now.

The tyres will be available in the shops end of this year?

haha – that’s fun indeed.

29 mm as lowest possible limit?

For a 2.6 inch tyre…?

Internal 35 mm is my pick for 2.6 inch MagicMary. Run the MagicMary with tubes and … with sealant in the tubes…

Faaaantastic grip but not very puncture proof…

Vigilante 2.6: might be tyre to test as well. Many good options available suddenly – like Continental der baron 2.6.

Teetosugars ..

They are a totally new tyre for 2018 ..Ive always wanted to try out a wider tyre and these have been designed using the WTB i29 rims as the best fit for the tyre( s ) …with a new ‘ Judge ‘ tyre to complement the range ..

Stupidity wide, the judge 2.4 rear won’tfit<span style=”font-size: 0.8rem;”> my bike. Breakout 2.3 tough was my choice, can’t get any in this compound currently. Trailboss is not s grippy. Shame as the price of these tyres was always very competitive.</span>

Wow just typing stuff **** up, way to go stw.
